Covers

Released in 2009, Covers is a pivotal EP in Greg Laswell's discography that solidified his reputation as a premier interpreter of song. While Laswell was already established for his original compositions, this release showcased his engineering prowess and his ability to re-contextualize familiar melodies into the 'Grey's Anatomy' era of cinematic indie-folk. The EP features covers of Echo & The Bunnymen, Morphine, Kristin Hersh, and Kate Bush, along with a re-recording of his own track 'Take Everything.' Sonically, the record is defined by its rich analog warmth and dense vocal arrangements, often referred to as his 'wall of sound' technique. It was highly successful in the sync licensing world, with tracks appearing in numerous high-profile television dramas, further cementing Laswell's status as a staple of the moody, introspective singer-songwriter genre of the late 2000s.
